Hardness

StarStarStarStar

Hardness is caused by calcium and magnesium, and high levels can affect animal health and equipment.

StarStarStarStar

Heavy Metals (Lead, Arsenic, Mercury)

StarStarStarStar

Heavy metals can be toxic, leading to health issues and accumulation in the food chain.

StarStarStarStar

Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD)

StarStarStarStar

High BOD indicates organic matter pollution, which can decrease oxygen levels affecting animal health.

StarStarStarStar

Ammonia (NH3)

StarStarStarStar

At high levels, ammonia is toxic to aquatic animals and can interfere with animal performance.

StarStarStarStar

Total Dissolved Solids (TDS)

StarStarStarStar

TDS indicates the concentration of dissolved minerals which can affect palatability and health.

StarStarStarStar

Microbial Contamination

StarStarStarStar

Presence of pathogens can spread disease, affect growth, reproduction, and milk production.

StarStarStarStar

Blue-green Algae (Cyanobacteria)

StarStarStarStar

Algal blooms can produce toxins harmful to livestock and must be closely monitored.

StarStarStarStar

Sulfate (SO4 2-)

StarStarStarStar

High levels of sulfate can lead to laxative effects and reduced copper absorption.

StarStarStarStar

pH Level

StarStarStarStar

pH measures the acidity/alkalinity of water, critical for digestive functions and metabolic processes.

StarStarStarStar

Oxygen Saturation

StarStarStarStar

Oxygen levels in water are vital for the health of aquatic livestock like fish.

StarStarStarStar

Alkalinity

StarStarStarStar

Alkalinity, mainly composed of carbonates, buffers pH changes and maintains stable water quality.

StarStarStarStar

Nitrate (NO3-)

StarStarStarStar

Nitrate levels should be low as high concentrations can cause oxygen depletion in blood, leading to death.

StarStarStarStar

Electrical Conductivity (EC)

StarStarStarStar

EC is an indirect measure of dissolved salts, indicating possible stress to animals.

StarStarStarStar

Chloride (Cl-)

StarStarStarStar

Chloride is an essential electrolyte but in excess can lead to toxicity.

StarStarStarStar

Fluoride (F-)

StarStarStarStar

Fluoride at high concentrations can lead to dental and skeletal issues in livestock.
